Yesterday, after your Miami Hurricanes beat the Maine Black Bears in baseball, the title of my article here on Canespace was :"Don't Feed The Bears".
I also later tweeted that same message to UM skipper Jim Morris, strongly encouraging him NOT to feed the Bears. Not now, not ever and not in Miami.
I mean everybody knows what happens when you feed the bears right? They become fearless and expect more food and when they don't get it they wind up attacking you, your family or your best friends as they leave your house after a night of listening to, watching or blogging about UM baseball, right?
Well, apparently, and as fate would have it, nobody listens to me.
Morris and his young, fledgling baseball squad fed the big, bad Maine Black Bears a sweet and tasty victory at the ARP (formerly known as Mark Light Stadium) on Saturday night. The Bears' pitching mauled Miami's hitters, rendering them basically limp and helpless in a 3-1 loss to Maine.
Five errors from the seemingly frightened Hurricane hardballers did not help their cause and are unacceptable on their home field even when being chased around by mean, angry Bears.
Now, with the taste of fresh Hurricane still dripping from their mouths, the Bears will most certainly come back for more flesh on Sunday in "The Decider" of the opening three game series of the young 2014 season. Let's hope the Hurricanes can hold them back by bashing them with their big aluminum bats?
Now, please repeat after me when I say: "DON'T FEED 'DA BEARS!"
yea baby yea!!

Rhuh-Rhoo...Has anybody recently seen Old Skool or NativeCane???
A drunk man in Alaska who threw barbequed meat at a bear was mauled over the weekend.
Apparently the man was at the Eklutna Lake Campground on Saturday for a church picnic. And according to Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen.
“He’d been drinking,” she said.
The man’s name is not being released because he may be charged with illegally feeding wildlife. Troopers believe sometime around 5pm on Saturday he broke off from the picnic and decided to go for a bike ride – bringimg some barbeque along. Sometime later the man ran into the bear. And that’s when he offered the bear his BBQ.
“That’s when it kind of went ballistic,” Ipsen said.
The bear mauled the man, puncturing skin along his jaw and leaving him with scratches along his back. Park rangers later found the bloodied man washing himself off at the campground. Alaska Department of Fish and Game spokesman Ken Marsh said: “He wasn’t terribly coherent. He was unsure of where the attack actually happened.”

I'm here.
I learned long ago that the best way to feed bears is with a sling shot.
I'm curious to know what kind of church he belongs to.

Interesting...so does attending camps, make some kids over-rated...and does not attending camps, make some kids under-rated...Jimbo Fisher on Demarcus Christmas:
"If Christmas would've went to some Rivals camps, he would've been the #1 or #2 player in the whole country. Guy comes in and says, "I'm going to FSU, I don't want to talk to any coaches, I don't want to go to no Rivals camps, (and) I don't want to go to no Under Armour All-American games. I'm going to FSU." And if He would've, He'd been ranked at the top of everybody's board."

Okay, I get the fact that your guys can bunt and steal a few bases when they get on but let the guys swing the bat. It can't be much worse than last year.
